GDPR
On the 25th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into force in the UK. These are new data protection regulations built upon the Data Protection Act of 1998.
The GDPR requires public authorities and businesses to identify the lawful basis for storing personal data, audit information we already hold and take a ‘data protection by design and default’ approach to personal data.
The Trust has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee compliance with data protection legislation. The DPO is Patrick Aikman (School DPO Service) and can be contacted at dpo@kwschool.co.uk.
The Trust’s Data Protection Lead, Dean Inns, supports the day-to-day implementation and monitoring of data protection practices within the school. On behalf of the Trust Board Mrs J Howarth will be monitoring practice in the school.
If you have any questions about this notice or how your personal data is used, or if you wish to exercise your rights under data protection law, please contact the DPO.
In order to ensure that we comply with the new regulations, we are reviewing our current policies and practices. We have already updated our privacy notices (below) in line with the new requirements.
